Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has reacted to an Indian fighter jet crashing during the Dubai Airshow on Friday.
While speaking to reporters in Peshawar, Afridi was asked about the incident. The former all-rounder replied, “Don’t celebrate an enemy’s death. One day, your loved ones may also die.”
Afridi said the crash was unfortunate and added that no one should feel happy about such incidents.
He then shifted to cricket and said Pakistan has plenty of talent and the team is performing well.
Afridi expressed confidence that Pakistan will also do well in the World Cup.
Afridi also spoke about the inclusion of two new teams in the Pakistan Super League. He called it a positive move and said players who struggle to get opportunities will now have more chances to play.
